Nuremberg's Star Uzun's Status Uncertain against Struggling HSV
- Nuremberg may miss their top talent, Can Uzun, in their last Bundesliga 2 match of the year against HSV. Coach Cristian Fiel admitted on Friday that Uzun is "still questionable," and he's yet to shake off his adductor problems. The 18-year-old last played two weeks ago, contributing to Nuremberg's 5-0 home loss against Fortuna Düsseldorf. Midfielder Jens Castrop, sidelined due to muscular problems, will definitely miss Saturday's home game (13:00/Sky).
"I'm going into the break with a good feeling, but I'd still like to secure one more victory to showcase our accomplishments over the past few months," said Fiel. A win against HSV would give Nuremberg 27 points, just one less than HSV.

- Although HSV will be without the services of midfielder Jens Castrop, who is ruled out with muscular problems, the intense match will be heavily influenced by the absence of Uzun if he is unable to partake.
- Should Uzun be unable to feature in the Bundesliga 2 encounter, attacker Timo Behrens could have a chance to shine. He's been called up to the first team due to his impressive performances in the reserve league.
- With Fiel's ambition to finish the year's first half on a triumphant note, the match between Nuremberg and HSV promises to deliver the intensity and excitement often associated with the Bundesliga.
Enrichment Data: Uzun's injury status is unclear as no recent updates from reliable sources have reported his injury status. Previous sources have highlighted Uzun's strong performances and form for Eintracht Frankfurt, but no specific injury concerns were mentioned [1][2][4]. It would be wise to double-check for any injury updates or clarifications before making firm assumptions about Uzun's availability.
